PRECAUTIONS
Make sure that sufficient air circulation for cooling the unit is possible (ventilation slots on the
left and right side of the unit)
If the Visualizer is not used for a long time turn off the main power switch (#34)!
If there is any abnormality (abnormal noise, smell, smoke etc.) turn the power off immediately
and contact your Visualizer dealer!
USE THIS MACHINE ONLY WITH THE CORRECT VOLTAGE AS
SHOWN ON THE TYPLABEL !
Do not use a damaged power cord. This may cause short circuits or electrical shocks!
Do not modify the Visualizer or operate it without the cover panel firmly in place, to prevent danger!
DO NOT EXPOSE THE UNIT TO EXTREME HEAT OR MOISTURE !
Do not expose the Visualizer to water, metallic objects or any flammable material.
Do not place liquids or wet objects on the working surface! Put them in front of or behind the
unit and use it as a camera. If you work with wet hands, cover the remote control with plastic wrap!
DO NOT CARRY THE VISUALIZER HOLDING IT ONLY BY ITS
MIRROR ARM (#1) !
DURING TRANSPORTATION PROTECT THE UNIT FROM EXCESSIVE
SHOCKS !
Avoid installing the Visualizer in environments where there are radiations.
Avoid installing the Visualizer in locations exposed to strong magnetic fields or electrical
currents. This could cause monitor image distortion or even damage to the CCD camera.

HOW THE VISUALIZER WORKS
A light projector (b) inside the Wolfvision Visualizer projects
the light via a mirror inside the unit and a mirror on the reflector
head onto the working surface. The video camera (a) inside the
unit scans the picture where the light falls.
The optics of the camera and the light projector are synchronized.
This means that when the size of recording area is increased or
decreased with the ZOOM-keys (#15,#16), the size of the
illuminated area on the working surface is also increased or
b
a
decreased.
Thus the illuminated area on the working surface always indicates
where the camera scans the picture. (In fact, the scanned area is
fractionally smaller than the light field.)
BASIC PREPARATIONS
1. Press the release
button
2. Pull arm
upwards
1. Press the release for the arm (#11) and simultaneously pull the arm upward. Make sure that the arm is
extended to its full length.
2. Connect the power cable to the unit (#36) and plug it in.
3. Connect a control monitor (if required) to the Preview video output (#31).
4. Connect a large viewing monitor or a video projector to the Composite video output (#32), the Y/C output
(#37) or the RGBS output (#40). These outputs can be switched on and off with the IMAGE keys (#21,#22)
of the control panel.
For live image projection we highly reccomend using the Y/C output (#37). The picture quality (especially
the resolution) is much better than with the Composite video output (#32).
5. Turn the main power switch (#34, on the back of the unit) to "I". The red power indicator (#29) on the
control panel indicates that power is supplied.
6. Press the POWER on key (#28) on the control panel. The Visualizer now runs the "factory setup"
(=automatic focusing of an A5 format on the working surface) during which the green LED light (#30)
is flashing. As soon as the green LED light stays illuminated you can start working with the Visualizer.
